I just recently bought a graphtec, but have had a Vinyl Express Q54 from sign warehouse for a while. From what I hear they are basically a graphtec. Not sure about Cutting Master or Illustrator, but in Flexi there is a selection in the cutter tab to optimize cutting distance & I think if...

Thank you for the insight on this... Everyone!! I think we will keep doing what we are doing, but once we move into wrapping or more full coverage panels we will let sit for a while. Thanks again!!!!

Any ideas guys?? The weird thing is I came in this morning & print & cut two jobs of the same file I was having a problem with & the contour cut appeared to be dead on. I also had the cut set at a -.035 previously to compensate for the cut being off. But again, I did these 2 & they appeared...

I have only been signmaking for two years now and have just recently heard that you should not laminate or cut printed vinyl for at minium 12hrs or reccommended 24 hours. Is this true? I use a mutoh eco solvent printer. I have had not a single complaint, nor have I seen an issue. Please...

Have not tried this Chris... nor do I know how?? Is this the same thing as the output compensation test where the printer will print 2 specified lines, then you measure them & put in the compensation if it is off?? Thanks

Jim, Not to sound blunt... But not very happy at all with SW because one of the techs there was the one that told me my cutter needed to be fixed, so I sent that one off & bought a new one to continue production while that one is being repaired & still have same issue with new cutter!! That...

I do not have Illustrator or Corel Draw. I just went back & did an Output size compensation test at 32" & it was dead on. Just finished installing the upgraded Flexi 10.5 & still same problem. The final job I need to do is laminated, but all my test cuts here recently have not been laminated.

I just got in this morning & ran the output compensation test in production manager & it was only about a 1/32" off. I print & cut another job enabling the compensation & still the same thing. The last test I just printed the word "test" approx. 6x2" with a zero contour cut & the cut was still...

Royster, I think that is what Dirt is talking about... I would like to know as well. I have been in the business for about 2 years & want to start getting into more of the partial & full wraps. How or what is the best way to create something like that?

We do screen printed T-Shirts but sub it out currently. Thinking about getting some equipment ourselves!!!

The last try I did do a -.010 contour cut & it was still off. As far as speed I run it at 30. With it being a new cutter the grit rollers are clean as can be. I know that the machine/software/printer etc... is capable of doing this as I have done plenty of 6-8' panels before???? Just not...

Okay... after thinking about this for a while & looking at some other threads, I am wondering if I may know what is going on here. Is there a possibility that my printer is not printing exactly what is says as far as size goes? For example if I am printing a job that is say 12x12 can the...

Hello everyone!! I have been having an issue with my contour cut being off. I am using a mutoh valujet 1204 & was using a Vinyl Express Q54 cutter. After going through Sign warehouse tech, I was told my cutter needed to be repaired. I have sent the cutter to be repaired & in the meantime...

Hey there everyone from Virginia. I have been in the sign making business now for approx. 2 years. I own an ATV shop as well & when it started going downhill my brother (partner) & I decided to start a sign shop. For the most part, I think we have done pretty good although we are now having...
